This chapel has secured the services of a Thuc-line priest. No SSPX training, no Resistance training or affiliation, no communication or affiliation with any of the Resistance bishops, and no connection with +Lefebvre or any of his line of bishops. How this independent chapel can consider itself Resistance is beyond me.

His training and ordination are both under suspicion because he is Thuc line. And any sane Sedevacantist would agree with me: being Thuc-line is NOT a stamp of quality or guarantee of any kind.

If a priest is Thuc-line, you really have to research!

There are some Thuc-line bishops who will ordain and/or consecrate ANYONE. Even those without training, or sufficient training. Same for morality.

CAVEAT EMPTOR.

PS. No, I don't know who the priest is, but I am passing on information from someone who does. If you are considering attending this chapel, you need to ask the coordinator a simple honest question: who is the priest? And if she refuses to answer, then act accordingly.

Just like many people said in various Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer/Ambrose Moran threads: when the whole world desperately needs good, Traditional, well-trained priests (or bishops), and you "miraculously" find one in days or weeks even though others have given up after years of searching, you really have to ask yourself: Is this too good to be true?

My momma always said: When something is too good to be true, it usually is.

I thought Pablo was head of the worldwide resistance??Seriously, what about mission locations and mass times?

I am happy to put up any information you want included in your mission's page: Mass times, location, directions, flyers, events, ..

Some people prefer to remain hidden for fear of the Jews/Pfeifferites/etc.., but I don't see any danger in providing at least a Name/Area/Contact so people in your area who are interested in coming along know you are out there and how to find out more.

I can also give each coordinator access to update their own details if they prefer that.

Any other suggestions welcome. I just won't be able to compete with "the head" in the area of exorcisms

That figures! I thought he was one of the few un-controversial inclusions and yet you seem to disagree. Just goes to show you what kind of mess creating such a list is going to be. Although, in this case you could "exclude" him and the list would be the same as his Mass locations would overlap with everyone else working with the bishops in the USA -- Fr. Ortiz has said Mass in Syracuse, other priests have offered Mass in Post Falls.

I think this is a great idea and I thank you, Samuel, for taking this initiative..I have to wonder if any private chapels won't want to be on the list for fear of appearing opposed to the SSPX. (I suppose that's what you were implying by "fear of the Jews/Pfifferites/etc.")

The chapel in Vitoria, Brazil should definitely be added to that list. They were the first to receive the new priest Fr. Ribeiro and are usually at the front of the list when it comes to Brazilian resistance chapels. Here is their website. The chapel Nossa Senhora das Alegrias.

We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

Christnoel, this isn't directed at you, but for consideration of all of us.

I was advised by my confessor recently, that we should be very careful in talking about our priests publicly & privately.

It's very easy to scandalize other souls with our comments, as harmless as our intentions may be.

Father Voigt is validly ordained, with possibly two conditional traditional rite ordinations (one by +W).

His priestly approach may not be everyone's cup of tea, but he is one of the few trad priests, working hard for our tiny remnant.

We have to protect and be thankful for what priests we have.

"Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer." St. Francis of Assisi

Fr. Voigt is a truly zelous soul who is very jovial, pleasant, and kind. However, he can certainly give you quite a penance if you deserve it. He'll tell you like it is, not in a bad way, but he truly cares about you as an individual.I would put the gloves on for him if neccessary!

Also, he helps +Z out now and then, so he definitely should be listed in the "Resistance" directory.

Many people say "For the Honor and Glory of God!" but, what they should say is "For the Love, Glory and Honor of God". - Fr. Paul of Moll

I just received an email request from someone wanting to attend a TLM in the Baton Rouge area, especially on Ash Wednesday (14 February). Is anyone able and willing to give me a contact number or email address so I can help this person find a suitable Mass in that area?

This also highlights the benefits of having an up to date directory, with a way for people to contact the coordinator and inquire about Mass times. Failing that, who knows how many people will have to miss out on Mass for lack of information. I don't see any excuse for keeping Mass times by invitation only.

Traditional Catholics worldwide have made us the #1 forum for SSPX Resistance news and discussion in the English-speaking world.

Please pray for Bishop Richard Williamson, a noble prelate and hand-picked successor of Archbishop Lefebvre whose Catholic wisdom and zeal for the truth have inspired many Traditional Catholics.
On October 23, 2012, the good Bishop was cast out of the SSPX, where he had labored tirelessly for 36 years.
His continued membership in the neo-SSPX would have made a premature union with Rome more difficult.
He is committed to defending Catholic Tradition in all its purity in the SSPX Resistance, as the true successor of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, continuing the fight the SSPX once fought."I have loved justice and hated iniquity; therefore I die in exile." - Pope Gregory VII
